Description

This makes for a fun loop that makes for a bit longer ride than some of the loops closer to town. There are some narrow wash crossings with deep sand that may not be rideable with narrow (e.g., gravel) tires during drier months - but even so are quick hikes if needed to get back to sandy hardpack.
